Your Daily Crossroad

The Harvest is on its Way

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? (Psalm 56:8)

He has bottled up every fallen tear so that He can water the harvest of your future.

Don’t be afraid of letting your tears fall and pouring out your heart. The problems we face in this life are not meaningless, nor is the pain in vain.

Do not try to understand God’s infinite sovereignty or mysterious ways, because peace never comes by mere understanding. Instead, trust in the fact that He is God, and you are completely safe in His loving arms.

He knows what is happening behind the scenes in your life and things beyond. God is not limited to time and space, therefore we will never comprehend His way of working things out.

Because you are so precious to Him, the Lord has preserved every tear in His book of remembrance. He is calling you to trust in His sovereignty and His infinite perspective.

Be encouraged today that the harvest of your future is on its way. He has promised you peace and joy! Yes, even in this season and every season to come! And On the day He returns once again, He will wipe away every tear from your eyes. There will no longer be any cause of pain or suffering! 



His Healing Touch

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. (Romans 6:14)

As God’s children, saved by faith, we are new beings.

We are no longer confined to our old ways of sin.

Because we have God’s Holy Spirit living in us, we are dead to sin and free to live by grace.

We are new beings and our old and harmful ways of thinking and behaving should no longer be a part of our lives.

When we feel tempted to slip back into selfish habits and ways of coping, ​we must​ ask God for His​ help, to live in His will.

The more we lean on His Holy Spirit and ask Him to emp​ower us, the more we can break the chains that keep us in sinful bondage.

Ask God to show you which areas of your life need His healing touch today.


God Has What is Best for You

There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand. (Proverbs 19:21)
 
Have your plans ever been interrupted? How did you react?
 
For most of us, it can be frustrating when things don’t go the way we planned them to be.
 
Sadly, sometimes we plan so far ahead or so meticulously that we fail to stop and consider what God’s plan is.
 
Sometimes it is God Himself who interrupts us, because He wants to give us direction and reveal His plan.
 
Remember, His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. His ways are higher! 
 
The busyness of life can numb or blind us to God’s will.
 
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13)
 
Not only is it God’s pleasure and responsibility to lead and guide us to His plan, it is also His responsibility to give us the desire and power to follow it!
 
When you accepted Jesus into your heart and embarked on this life-long journey with Him, the transforming power of the Holy Spirit made His home in you.
 
This means God is working in you, causing you to desire (as well as understand) His plan for your life.
 
The more you seek His face and fall in love with Him, the more your desires change to align with His desires!
 
Today, know that you do not have to fret about your future or worry yourself into a frenzy. God is in control. God knows your future. God has what is best for you. The next time your plans are interrupted, stop and take the time to see if it’s the Lord wanting to give you direction. You will never be disappointed in what He has in store!


Do You Know The Voice of Your Shepherd?

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. (Isaiah 30:21)

Hearing God’s voice is something He meant for all of us to have.
 
It’s not only a select few who are labeled “spiritually elite”.
 
God is not a respecter of persons, which means every single one of us has the ability to hear from Him.
 
Ever since the crucifixion, the veil between humanity and God has been torn open, granting us access into the Holy of Holies and an intimate relationship with Him!
 
When one of your close friends or family members calls your name from across the house or calls you on the phone, you know it is them by the distinct sound of their voice.
 
This is the same with the Lord. Our sensitivity to His voice depends on how strong our relationship with Him is.
 
When we truly yearn for God’s direction, His will is naturally revealed to us. It all starts with being able to recognize His voice! 

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27)
 
Back in Jesus’ day, sheep belonging to different flocks would sometimes spend the night together in the same fold.
 
Once morning arrived, the shepherds would come out and call their sheep.
 
While all the sheep would hear the call of each shepherd, they only came to the one they knew and recognized as their personal shepherd.
 
As Christians, we are the Lord’s sheep, and He is our protective shepherd.
 
Do you know the voice of your shepherd?
 
Many voices will try to call out to you in life cajoling you to follow the ways of the world, but only one voice belongs to your loving shepherd… Jesus.
 
As you go through today, know that He always takes delight in speaking to you. Stay close to Him, and listen with your heart for His love call!
